Rolling into Dillsboro at 5:25. 8 more miles and I'll be trekking up the ridge. Looking to close the deal. Jakes are fair game today.

6:12-Gobbling like crazy way off. Just heard the first gobble that was fairly close. He's probably at least 200 yards off.

6:23-the gobble fest is still going on way off to the SW. The two birds I've heard closer to me are not nearly as vocal. I am guessing they are either older birds or they could be on the ground already. Gonna sit tight and keep my head on a swivel....

Change of strategy. I have relocated to my best deer hunting spot. It's centrally located, on a high point, and on an old road bed. I can see a long way in all directions here. Just going to have to sit here and "deer hunt" turkey's. This is on their regular travel route from late morning to mid-afternoon in the fall. We shall see. I don't have a lot of other options at this point..they've gone silent.

Dead silent here an a historically hot spot. Guiding my nephew on his second Turk hunt. Wouldn't think there were any here if we hadn't bumped a couple off the roost walking in. He just saw his first deer in the woods. Hoping to connect with a lonely tom around 10.
